Not Looking Good For Dems

Because of bad jobs and the glacial pace of health care, people are angry. And so they should be. But this is not boding well for dems. There is a possibility that dems could lose up about 5-7 senate seats. Even senators who have a long history of good politics in solid dem states are at risk.

CQ politics has a good graphic up that says there are 9 toss up races. And most of those are currently held by dems. To add to the frustration there's this:

"Sen. Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) 'once rock solid approval rating has taken a slide. For the first time in nearly nine years, Schumer's approval rating has fallen below 50%.'"

Yea, that is right. Chuck seems to be taking a hit as well. Dems need to change the tune to this year's election quickly.
